Tha Memorial Church ao O'Connell.

The work Of erecting a splendid
Memorial Church to the Llberator in
his native parish of C3hirciyeen is, we
believe, progressing very favorably.
The origin ct the project is thus told
by Canon Brosnan WHO conceived the
idea and has brought Che work to it's
present advanced position. On the
l4th Of July, 1881, says 6his patriotic
priest, I1net, at the Killarney Statioa.
an Irish ll-American priest, Rev. Henry
Lynch. pastor OF Lakeville, Conn.,. and
who was born at the foot Of Tara. He
was having his holidays. Ascertainlng
ehat [ was PIP. of O'Connell's native
parish, the reverend gentleman eyinced
an ardent wish Of visiting the place,
and spoke in most enthusiastic terms
OF the Liberator. 1t was then and
there, Tor the first time in my life, the
thought of a. Memorial Church to
tvCounell occurred to me, and [ asked
Father Lynch what he thought if an
appeal were made for such a project
to the Irish in America. His reply
was quick and decisive. "If," said
he, 'syou come to America for such an
object as that, [ engage that in four
months you will collect $4,000 for it. "
Need l say what an impression such a
reply made on me? Proceeding by train
70 Mallow, there sat in the same COM
partment with us another Irish exile,
Michael Healv, Mooroopna, Melbourne.
and native of Cashel. Father Lynch
and [ continuing the conversation about
the memorial project, l observed our
companion to pay marked attention.
Being informed by Father Lynch who
he was, I asked him very anxiously
what he thought OF the subject. His
reply was calm aud deliberate. eff
YOU, yourself, come to Australia and
give little more time to the work than
this reverend gentleman says, / believe
YOU would do just as we'll there" Re-
turning that evening from Cork, there
travelled with me in the same compart-
n1ent the late John f. Tracy, Granville
House, Cork, who was on his way to
Killarney. Having replied to his in
ouiries as to my residence, he said that
lie had been twice to Cahirciveen, and
then inquired with considerable inter
est how the old ruin at Carhen was,
and also about the old chapel at Cahir-
civeen. I briefly told him and then,
having recalled the conversation that
had taken place with the two Irish ex-
lies, I told him Of it. Mr.. Tracy lis
tened attentively throughout, and with
out saying a word put his hand into his
pockes.. after I had concluded, and
handed me 81, saying, 'sHere, take this
for the preservation Of that old ruin at
Carhen, and put me down for &l0 for
the O'Connell Memorial Church" Such
has been the simple beginning Of this
work which is now centered in the
hearts of the Irish race all over the
world.

Novelties in Silver Goods.

Blackened silver set with brilliants,
the silver of the exact tint of black
pearl, is the latest production of the
Paris jeweler. The ornaments made up
to the present are brooches and brace
lets, the former representing flowers,
roses, marguerites, nasturtiums and
he'd ge- roses in unusual size, having the
centre ornamented with brilliants. The
effect is very elegant for half-mourning.
Bracelets are also made Of the same
metal, with two tiny chains and balls
resembling black pearls hanging from
them. Weekly.

other things with regard to the
South, the following:
"Not only is it a good farming
country, but timber, building stone,
iron ore and coal are found in un-
limited quantities, aud of the finest
qualities. And this red clay makes
the best aud hardest brick l ever

delightful climate, makes me hap

manifested that interest by making
extensive preparations, for the re-

the fraternity will have a most ex-

ow ofa doubt. These annual gath
eriugs are productive OF much good.
They show how the press is regard
ed by the outside world, aud en-
courage the editorial fraternity to
respect themselves. And, Ia ad-
vance, we suggest that the annual
ssiokesp be dispensed with. Let the
deliberations Of the convention be
marked by dignity, aud let each
member so conduct himself that 40
reproach will rest upon the profes-
sion. And, finally, when the mem

A Liar, and What Happened to
Him.

N. Y. Letter IN Philadelphia Press.
Col. John A. CockrelI, the genial
and accomplished managing editor
OF the New York World, who ar.
rived home the other day FROM il
| jaunt to Europe, was notalways il
metroDolitan journalist with sdla-
~ of $4,000 year and an income
of twice that amount. In bis early
days he controlled tho destinies of
"a struggling weekly in ~ far West
ern town, and lmd those experiences
which are onlyto be found in an
Office of thai sort. Near the village
in which Young CochFell (he was not
then Colonel published his paper
lived u fellow who never told the
trnth when lie would answer, and
whose word was not worth a eau
celed postage stamp. Que morning,
when the young editor was sitting
in his Office, this fellow walked in.
He said he wanted to subscribe for
the paper "and," said he, ''if you
will send it to me I'll bring you a
load of wood next week" The edl-
tor suggested that he would prefer
to see the wood first.
"Oh, that'll be all right" said the
subscriber, ''iust send me the paper
and"
"See here. How am / to know
that you are goingNto keep your
word Z" -
"Easy enough. If that load dl
Wood aiIft here by next Saturday,
you'll know that I'm dead. Ii Pm
liyin', I'll bring it myself or I'll send
it, one or t'other."
"All right. "I,Il send the paper
aud take the wood"
The paper was sent. A week
passed and no wood came. Anoth-
er week went by and still nc
wood. What did the editor do I
WHY, he sat down aud wrotea glow
ing obituary of his delinquent sub
scriber. He paid touching eulogy
to his manlDess and bis integrity
He said that bis word was his bond,
aud that in all bis dealings he was
reliability and honesty personifed.
There was not degree of praise
aud exaltatiOn, that the editor did
not use upon this subject, and the
result was, of course, tremendous.
The next morning editor Cock
rell, looking through the office win
dow, saw the alleged corpse APP
proaching with fire IN his eye and
copy of the raper in his hand.
The editor suddenly became busy.
The door opened. In walked Mr..
Delinquent.
"Say there,' he exclaimed.
The editor turned and started
in amazement. "What ~ said he.
"Yeu alive? | thought you were
dead. Let me congratulate you."
"Of course I'm alive. What do
you mean by this Internal article III

"Oh, thatT said the editor bland
ly. "That7 Why, you told me that
if the load of wood you promised
wasn't here in week you'd be dead,
and L took you for a man of your
word"
The fire faded ont of the delin-
quent's eye, and gong closer to his
desk he said: "See here, young
TELLER, it's no use trying to getahead
of YOU. Let's shake hands. III

And for once in his life be kept
his word.

Howssea Captains Get Rich.



| It's often source of wonder how
so many ship captains amass large
fortunes, build palatial residences,
aud settle down, after life Of hard
ship and exposure, as the seers and
prophets OF their native villages.
To he sure, since the days of high
freight aud vast profits of the East
Indian trade, when a vessel fire.
quently paid for herself IN one voy.
age, fewer opportunities are afford
ed to owners aud captains to accu-
mulate fortunes with tile rapidity
Of former days.
| Still there are methods by which
the crafty commander Of the ship
is enabled to pick up a few stray
dollars. The law provides that the
captain of every ship shall provide
''slop chest" containing boots, oil
skins, socks, underclothing, ETC.,
to be sold to the sailors, including
goodiN supply of tobacco. The
law also provides that the profits Of
the captains from the sales shall be
limited to ten per cent. This, how
ever, is rarely enforced, and the
captain disposes of tobacco that
costs thirty cents per pound for
seventy five cents, 81 and @1.50.
The other contents of the sssl0p
chest" are also doled out to the
sailors. with whom it is case Of
!. .HObson's choice, at enormous profits
to the captains pocket.
Captains, also, have a peculiar
fonduess for COMMISSIONS, aud when
lying at port the butelAr. the ship
chandler and the bumboaCaen all
willingly agree to pay over a GER
tain percentage of the money re-
ceIved from the ship for the sake of
obtaining the trade. Money has to
be hired to meet the bills; aud
here, too, the inevitable commission
| iingles in the pockets of the master
Of the ship, at sea an autocrat, on
shore an object of adnlatioBs Yes.
sells in distress are often obliged to
hire large sums of money to meet
the expenses OF repairing, and part
of the interest paid and the large
bonuses of the advances fiud their
way into the ever open pocket Of
the crafty mariner.
AS an illustration, the-writer was
on board a ship the. second mate Of
which was to be discharged alta
foreign port. The captain, 10 max
ing up the accounts ready to be
submitted to the consul, found that
be had been charging the mate sew
enty cents per pound for tobacco.
"ThoSe fellows on shore will get all
his money, anyhow" said he, 'sand
| reckon l might as well have part
of it," Accordingly tobacco was
entered in the bill at 81 per pound,
and thesother items of the account
were increased in like proportion.
From this short account it will be
seen that captains still have oppor-
tunities to make IL little money ION
the outside" The amounts made
by some by smuggling soon enable
them to retire from the sea and live
life of ease.

THE CATASTROPHE.
BY II. c. DODGE.


The cat stood on the freezing fence,
Where he for fun had fled.
At midnight prompt did he commence
TO paint the back yard red.
There demon-like and black he screamed
AS bound to fool the storm
OF missiles, which from windows streamed
Straight at his fur off form.
Bootjacks rolled on. He would not go
Without Maria's word
Maria in the kitchen low
His yowls no longer heard
"Maria," Mr.. Thomas cried,
"Mariah, must you stay I"
And but the booming boots replied
That fast was thrown away.
Then came gunshot's thunder sound;
The cat-oh, where was heY
Ask of his fragments strewed around
In that catastrophe.
With bootjacks, bricks and many a swear
The sleopers did their part,
But the noblest thing which persisted there
Was that old cat SO smart.
